So in terms of policies or your vision of America, you don’t know what you want.
Cool.
I’m pretty good with Donald Trump’s immigration policy. I just voted for it, after all.
Follow the link to the complete policy platform and read chapter 2, if you would like to know what it is.
Would you say, you want all of those policies executed?
If we’re lucky that orange fuck will do so.
Okay, not all of them. The critical race theory thing is ridiculous.
Deport pro Hamas radicals? What if they’re Americans? And who judges what defines a view as pro Hamas?
The military strengthening sounds like increasing military spending.
I thought “ KEEP MEN OUT OF WOMEN’S SPORTS” was kind of funny.
Aren’t there bigger fish to fry? Valid, but it seems a little out of place.
Same logic window lickers would use when they’d get pulled over for driving like sub-mental cretins
But, they’re actually breaking the law.
Meaning “isn’t there anything better you could be doing” … I guess like predicting murders or something
It’s all gotta go. CRT is no better than Klan ideology.
I am in very broad alignment with the stated policies.
Busy tilting the table toward the established aerospace outfits so that there are no new entries.
Imagine being a girl and working your whole life in a sport and losing scholarship opportunities because you got heaved out of top position by some kid that just decided he was a girl.
Cuz $200k is funny?
Or olympic medalists getting broken and knocked out of their sport, never to compete at world levels, losing sponsorships and coaching opportunities, cuz some guy decided he was a girl and disabled your ass.
Cuz lifetime earning opportunities are funny?
Am I hearing you correctly?
I’ve been thinking on the topic of how we can see things so differently. I think most people vote for what they think is right for the country and themselves. I’m optimistic about most people in general, but I think it’s true that most people are doing what they think is the right thing to do when they cast their vote.
It’s fascinating that there just seems to be no objective reality anymore in a practical sense. One voter can do what they feel is right, but to another they are living in an alternate reality. It makes me question myself, and what is reality.
I’m more left leaning as most here know, but I know plenty on the right (roughly 50/50 in my circle). I think it’s an honest statement on their part when they say Trump is the more truthful candidate. They believe that to be true. That doesn’t match my perception. It seems crazy to me that someone could come to that conclusion.
I think politics is a lot like religion. Most religious people are very skeptical of every religion but their own. They don’t see the flaws in their religion, but can point out multiple reasons why it is ridiculous to believe another religion. I think that is happening in politics. People are blind to the flaws in their own party, but the other party seems ridiculous. It makes me question myself and my opinions. I suppose the best I can do is try to be rational about my beliefs.
Well maybe the women should just become men.
Ah! I totally missed that option. ![]()

What is objective reality, for political purposes?
It is my belief that you should question yourself at all times. It is that process that led me from a 2000’s secular-progressive to where I am at today, with well-formed and well-supported opinions on politics. I have never been more confident about my vote for a national-level politician, and it isn’t remotely close.
What would you list as the Donald Trump’s most egregious deceptions of the American public? Let’s go with top 3 for starters.
Your politics definitely are. Mine, much less so.
That many or perhaps even most Trump voters can’t explain their opinions at the same level of depth that I can doesn’t change anything important. They’ve been right the entire time, and they’ve been right for the right reasons.
If you’d like to examine objective reality as it relates to politics, I recommend looking at predictions and their success. Politics is a game of predicting the future, after all. You don’t need to know anything special to go back and examine who got things right and who was just plain old wrong.
Look at the people who’ve been promoting woke and/or slamming Trump and his supporters for the last decade plus. They have been wrong about nearly everything they have told us would happen and how it would happen. Look at your own track record of prediction and take an honest stock of how many times you just got it wrong.
Then ask yourself, how many more towns should be subjected to the same human trafficking that Lewiston, Maine has been? You probably don’t need to drive far to find some towns that have experienced similar levels of shocking decline as a result of this social experiment.
I am more perplexed at how any reasonably intelligent person can somehow talk themselves into voting for a Democrat in 2024. I would question my own reasoning, if any of them could actually explain theirs.
They can’t. Their policy ideas fall apart with minimal scrutiny.
Who makes the most compelling case for Democrat policy in 2024?
What would you tell people in a normal American town to expect when thousands of migrants arrive? What about ten years from then? Twenty?
Objective reality is that liberals ruin everything
It is pretty hard to argue against that simple sentence in 2024, so I’ll say it again.
Trump has been right the entire time.
His supporters have been right the entire time too, and for all of the right reasons. They are not racist bigots. They are normal Americans with good values who are concerned about their families’ futures. It has never been hard to understand for me, but I never infected myself with the woke mind virus and I’ve lived my life among people from all socioeconomic backgrounds.
The people calling Trump and his supporters fools, especially those who persist in 2024, will continue to look more and more foolish as time passes and woke moves into the rearview.
I don’t think most people do. They see him as the best available choice to create a platform for:
Votes for Trump were largely centered on voting for strong economic outcomes leading to better job markets, stock investment outcomes and entrepreneurial favorability.
These are not lazy worms, or the Gibs me dats, looking for free healthcare and perpetual victim based outcomes.
You’re regurgitating the media “I’m rubber, you’re glue” game well, but objectively you’re looking in the wrong direction.
The losers are still campaigning too… The post-election meltdown has been a case study in mental illness. They really can’t help themselves.
